Slow winter growth?

[lapushka]

I think for some it's faster in winter than in summer, it varies person to person, can even vary season to season, or year to year. It depends on so many factors you can't control, environment, diet, stress factors, etc.

I mean at the last of summer I grew like an inch a month for a couple months and that has *never* happened to me since I started keeping track (sort of). I notice when I need to trim. I had to trim a lot, because I was maintaining, by God I had no idea where the hair was coming from all of a sudden.

It's slowed down now, quite a bit! Thank God!

Mine seems to just be completely random! What's up with that?

Mine seems to grow super fast in the summer..and slow in the winter although now it seemed to have changed. It is growing decently year round this time. It is definitely a thing though!

When I kept records, I noted that my hair grew 2/3 of an inch per month in summer and fall, 1/4 inch a month during the winter, and about 1/2 inch per month in the spring.

I believe that it has something to do with the increased hours of daylight in the summer but I don't know. I'm not a scientist.

I think I read somewhere that it has to do with increased circulation, that blood flow to the scalp is more efficient when it's warm outside since the body doesn't have to work as hard to keep the body warm. Don't know if that's correct or even make sense though

I agree. I exercise more in the summer, but I'm more sluggish and cold in the winter. I don't work up a sweat and just go for a walk with my husband once a day. But in summer it's hot and light very early in the morning here and I often go for a quick walk in the morning by myself.

My growth decreases in winter indeed, but it's also the most stressing time of the year for me so maybe that contributes to the growth (or lack of) as well...

[Stray_mind]

For me it's the opposite. My hair tends to grow like a weed in winter and slows down in summer.

Mine definitely slowed down a lot this winter, I'm thankful it's summer here now and I can get a little more blood flowing to the scalp without actually having to do something laborious like the Inversion Method haha!
